What We Saw of Sarah Palin (Crowd video of Madison rally shows what Palin overcame during speech)
Ann Althouse ^ | Saturday, April 16, 2011 | Ann Althouse

YouTube video by Meade.

Note by Kristinn: The ten minute video was shot from the periphery of the crowd at the Madison Tea Party rally during Sarah Palin's speech. The union members and their supporters did their best to drown out Palin with jeers, chants, horns, bells, boos, etc.

While Palin is not seen in the video, having watched her speech live I can appreciate how poised she was under the steady barrage of noise trying to shut her down or throw her off her game.

Andrew Breitbart, who introduced Palin at the rally, wrote at Big Government of the profane sexual abuse the union members and their supporters hurled at Palin and her family when they arrived for the rally:

But there was another group also there to greet us; the shock troops sent by Richard Trumka and president Obama’s Organizing for America...

The TV cameras showing the speech caught little of this phalanx of thugs that we had to walk through. Middle fingers flew and the trendy talking point insult of “Koch Suckers!” was everywhere. Sarah Palin was called names that made me wonder if Bill Maher was writing for this mob. Apparently, women-hating sexual mockery is acceptable if directed at the right, even if that woman’s children are present.

Through it all, Palin triumphed, with Reuters headlining a commentary: Palin in Madison: Veni Vidi, Vici.

Yes she is! Prayers that God will protect her and her family in her journey.

The hate is not from the liberal puppets- it is from their master. We need not fear him, or for Sarah. He is already defeated.

Our glory is in resisting and wittnessing until our Lord returns.

I hope it’s after the Palin Presidency.....

They are “idiots on parade”... pretty sure they have no clue as to how they will be perceived by “thinking” Americans who see this.

God gave her the shrillness of her voice to pierce the cacophony of noise assaulting her from the left.

Socialism is government of the thugs, by the thugs and for the thugs.

Thanks, Kristinn.

We could use another hundred Breitbarts.

At least Trump is calling the usurper out.

Compared to Sarah Palin, Trump is second string.

Obozo has zero chance of winning. He is in worse shape than Carter at this point.

Damn...watched it all What a Woman

I watched it all too. Sarah was tenacious and didn't skip a beat.

Those leftist pigs there were all parasites. They use for force of government to steal what they otherwise could never earn -- true parasites. They are truly evil humans.

One other thing the crowd could’ve done was to turn around and just laugh at them! They could have said “wow, what a bunch of crazy people!” I wonder what they would’ve done/said then? They might have just walked away, embarrassed! (ok, maybe not all of them; but some of them)

A kick in the right place will put any man to his knees.

Except for a eunuch like Teh One. /sarc>

Cheers!

I don’t think punching anyone is the right way to do things. If this happens, riots will break out, and you can bet your last dollar - that’s just what the left and zero want - so that he can implement martial law and we won’t have an election.

Cool heads must prevail!
